Located 23 miles southwest of Amsterdam, the Keukenhof Garden was established in 1949 by an association of Dutch bulb growers. Each year, 7 million bulbs, including tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, are planted in the 79-acre garden. You can check the progress of the seasonal flowering on the garden’s website. (Mid-April is usually the most spectacular time.)
